Wrestling Strength

In today’s increasingly competitive atmosphere of sports, athletes constantly push through the pain to show their toughness and win games. My grandpa always says football is becoming a sport for the weak, because during his time, players wore much less equipment and were seen as heroes for fighting through the pain. However, many athletes cannot decipher how much is too much, and often end up hurting themselves worse. This mentality of “No pain, no gain” has been instilled into athletes by their parents, coaches and fellow teammates. Due to this hard-headed mentality, many people claim that there isn’t anything else that can be done to protect athletes, because they are making their own choice to play, yet in reality, there is a plethora of

Wrestling and your general life might seem to not have anything in common but if you implement skills like hard work and perseverance you can learn to find success in both. Perseverance is one thing that can tie together the worlds of wrestling and life. In wrestling you have to work hard and have a thick skin, you cannot let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do because you know different. If you have a dream shoot for it and don’t stop until you make it a reality. Sometimes you might hit an impasse, but you have to keep going and break that barrier no matter how much you feel like quitting. The video states, “ If you want something, go get it. Period.” This explains that no matter how crazy your dream or goal in life is go get it and

From the Strength Finder website questionnaire, my individualized leadership strengths are as follows: achiever, command, context, focus, and significance. In this essay I will elaborate on these in detail and the ways they explicitly relate to my personality and the different experiences and activities of my life. I have also researched several articles that discuss transformational leadership and how this pertains to the literature on the subject. I will discuss transformational leadership in comparison to my own strengths, and explain how my leadership style may progress as I advance through this nurse practitioners program.

My experience and skills are surpassed only by my enthusiasm to effectively meet the challenges before me. I am a highly capable, motivated, and energetic individual that enjoys working with others towards successful solutions. My leadership style incorporates motivation through positive feedback and support plus straightforwardness and open communication that builds trust and loyalty among my peers and patients alike. Throughout my personal experiences, education, and athletic career I have honed the ability to be a leader in times where others look for leadership. Leadership is not given; a confident, competent, and motivated individual takes leadership of a situation.

Because my sophomore year of wrestling was over too i decided to do a lot of offseason wrestling. I really was able to fall in love with the sport and continue to get better and better. At the beginning of my junior year i was super

I occupy my time in clubs and activities that both captivate my interest and are most important for my peers and me. These include but are not limited to my positions in Link Crew, Student Council, and Senior Board. They range from Senior Class Representative to Vice President. Many of my teachers and mentors have identified a characteristic of mine as a great leader, and I wanted to improve on these skills. I don't dominate discussion or action, I simply guide it. I take all of my positions seriously and always bring my best attitude; my leadership methods distinguish me from other

According to Rath and Conchie (2008) individuals are more effective leaders when they recognize their own strengths and behaviors. The Gallup StrengthsFinder (2015) revealed my top five strengths as relator, responsibility, arranger, developer, and restorative. First, I would use the relator strength by evaluating past experiences, listening to patients and personnel thoughts to develop a plan of action. Next, responsibility would be utilized by showing commitment to the plan of action and by being reasonable to others ideas. Furthermore, I would utilize arranger and developer by recruiting and encouraging personnel involved at all levels of the protocol. Finally, the strength of restorative would be used based on the improvement needed for discharge planning, education, and follow-up

Ever since I was little and saw WWE RAW, a wrestling TV show, for the first time, I enjoyed watching wrestling on TV. I would always jump up throwing my arms in the air when my favorite wrestler was winning. I would invite some of my friends over on Saturdays to mimic the wrestling moves that the wrestlers were doing from the TV on a trampoline in my backyard during the afternoon because it looked awesome and it was very fun. The wrestling TV show inspired me to join wrestling in High School.

Ending my first ever wrestling season, at the age of five, with a record of 44-4. Ever since, I have stuck with the sport, and continued to grind out all the long rigorous practices. Getting older and more experienced in the sport, more and more competition started to rise. Me playing two other sports, football and baseball, made it very hard for me to keep up with my opponents in the off season. As years went by my opponents slowly passed me in skill level.

Finally, my strength as a leader comes from my being an Authentic leader. To be authentic means to be recognized by my co-workers as a leader who applies principles and values in life (Daft, 2014). I try my best to show sincerity when addressing my coworkers and patients, and not participate in “green jokes” and conversations that can possibly harm others. In this way, I earn the respect of my

I listen to every information I get and of course trying to improve myself. I always try to stay calm and relaxed when talking to others. I show respect to others and they respect me to. I learned about ethics in the university and how to deal with several situation during the study years in the university. professional leaders could make some big mistakes and I’m not professional yet also I have some weaknesses. Such as, managing the complicating situations, separating the work between the members of the group and I don’t know how to organize the group work. Sometimes I don’t pay attention to what the members discuss between them. I’m getting nervous talking in front people and that’s will affect me during presentations and speeches. Mutual respect between leader and follower is a key prerequisite to success. There are many opportunities in clinical practice for doctors to show good followership and good leadership. A junior doctor can tactfully question his seniors as to why a decision is taken, understand it and then convey this with a sense of purpose to the nursing staff. Poor followers take negative attributes into their leadership

Leadership is often defined as inspiring confidence and support towards individuals to achieve goals (DuBrin, 2015). Leadership skills are essential for health care providers. Some qualities I would like to gain from this course are confidence, trustworthiness, the ability to inspire motivation and having multiple decision-making processes/models to use. Having more effective leadership skills will assist me in my workplace. As a future health professional, having effective leadership skills is an important asset. Leadership is important in Recreational Therapy because certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialists, also known as CTRS, usually advocate for their patients. It is also important because CTRS’s typically work interprofessionally with other specialists. While working with multiple specialists, it is important to have a strong voice and to be able to defend your own plan of action for patients. An example of this is when I was volunteering with a CTRS and a doctor did not agree that a patient should attend an art event. This event was part of her therapeutic program set by the patient and her CTRS but the doctor viewed this event as being a reward for her. The CTRS had to use many leadership skills to advocate for the plan of action and patient. To improve leadership skills, it is import to first identify traits, attributes and behaviours you already posses, and ones that need to be improved on based on your leadership goals through a leadership portfolio.

The purpose of this paper is to examine a situation where I have been in a leadership role. I will focus on an assignment where I was the trauma nurse early in my nursing career. Using the top five strengths obtained from the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, I will analyze how they helped to support my role as a leader.

“If you actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader” (John Quincy Adams, as cited in Forbes, 2014, p. 1). A leader is mentor, guiding others to their best. In this paper, I will reflect on my personal values and beliefs regarding leadership. Next, I will discuss a leader in my life that personally resonates with me. I will then discuss the attributes of my chosen leader and relate them to theory on leadership, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, group dynamics and peace and power concepts and identify the leadership style that my chosen leader embodies. Finally, I will discuss how my leadership philosophy and the newly acquired theory will impact my future career as a nurse.

Confidence and leadership reveals everything about an individual’s unique personality. Whether demonstrated in sports or everyday life, leadership is extremely valuable in the sense of working well with others. I have learned to develop this trait in sports, work, and school. I have especially demonstrated this trait during my junior year by participating in York County’s Distinguished Young Women’s Program. Not only did this allow me to develop a relationship with strangers, but also allowed me to explore outside of my comfort zone and project myself to a higher degree than
